That's an interesting concept, with the particular advantage that it avoids the "evolved for the ancestral environment" just-so story.
I especially like the unpacking of various specific biases. How do you think the in-group bias would be unpacked?
That one doesn't seem to fit into the substitution framework very naturally: you can come up with ways to do it (I just tried), but they all feel a little tortured. (Or maybe I just didn't think about it long enough.)
